Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 15 of the 28 other YouTube SEO tools we grade
Morningfame is a web app for YouTube creators that connects to a channel and compares its statistics with channels of a similar size, pointing out weak spots and which videos worked. It also has a guided keyword research tool for ranking videos in YouTube search and a Niche Spy tool. Signing up needs an invite code, usually handed out by YouTubers who recommend it.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Morningfame, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You need an invite code, then you connect your channel, and the keyword tool is a guided process to learn.

The report card
Best for channel analytics for small YouTube channels
Morningfame compares your channel with channels of a similar size and walks you through keyword research step by step, from $4.90 a month. But you need an invite code to sign up at all, there's no free plan, and Basic only opens keyword research for 24 hours every 12 days.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Basic is $4.90 a month with taxes included, well under the $7.20 that's 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. Plus, with keyword research and Niche Spy open all the time, is $12.90, just above that quarter's $12. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan. A one-month trial comes through an invite link and works like Basic; the listing doesn't say whether it needs a card. When a subscription ends, the account is closed. |
| Features | C | Channel analytics against similar-sized channels, which videos worked, guided keyword research, Niche Spy and a weekly email. That's the basics, with no A/B tests or thumbnail help on record, and Basic opens research for only 24 hours every 12 days. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You need an invite code, then you connect your channel, and the keyword tool is a guided process to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, connected to YouTube and nothing else, plus a weekly email. No app, extension or API on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Morningfame is for
- Fits if your channel is small and you want its numbers set against channels like it
- Makes sense if you plan videos in a batch every couple of weeks, which matches Basic's research window
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you have no invite code, as sign-up is invitation only and seats can run out for the day
- Tight if you research keywords often, since Basic opens that tool for 24 hours up to every 12 days
- Pricey if you run several channels, as each one needs its own account and subscription
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because there isn't one and the account closes when you stop paying
- Too light for anyone wanting tools on YouTube itself, as there's no extension or app
Good to know
Good for
- Small YouTube channels that want analytics put in context
- Creators who plan their videos in batches every two weeks
- Learning keyword research for YouTube search step by step
Worth knowing
- Sign-up is invitation only: you need an invite code, and seats can run out for the day.
- Basic opens keyword research and Niche Spy for only 24 hours up to every 12 days; Plus removes the limit.
- Each YouTube channel needs its own Morningfame account and subscription.
- There is no free plan; when a subscription ends the account is closed.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Morningfame you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $58.80 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- Search data for YouTube topics and channels.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Morningfame’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
